Narrow Minds Quotes - Page 2

• El monje, el inquisidor y el jesuita eran señores de España, soberanos de su soberana, pues habían formado la mente oscura y estrecha de aquella tiránica reclusa. Habían formado las mentes de su pueblo, apagado con sangre toda chispa de herejía naciente, y entregado una noble nación a un fanatismo ciego e inexorable como la fatalidad del destino. Unido al orgullo, la ambición, la avaricia, todas las pasiones de una naturaleza rica y fuerte, potente para el bien y para el mal, hizo del español de entonces un azote tan terrible como jamás haya caído sobre el hombre.

• Without theory, practice is but routine born of habit. Theory alone can bring forth and develop the spirit of invention. ... [Do not] share the opinion of those narrow minds who disdain everything in science which has not an immediate application. ... A theoretical discovery has but the merit of its existence: it awakens hope, and that is all. But let it be cultivated, let it grow, and you will see what it will become.

Broaden your mind till you get a multi-universal mind! And yet, this is not enough too! Broaden it! Leave your village; leave your city; leave your country; leave the earth; leave the universe; leave all the universes! Don't let your mind to cast anchor in any port! Narrow mind is the greatest enemy of the truth! The best mind is the one which has no frontiers!

• It is not uncommon for ignorant and corrupt men to falsely charge others with doing what they imagine that they themselves, in their narrow minds and experience, would have done under the circumstances of a given case, and the surest check, often the only check, on such perjury, is to recognize the impossibility that men of larger instruction and resources and experience could have been guilty of such conduct.

• In all things, to serve from the lowest station upwards is necessary. To restrict yourself to a trade is best. For the narrow mind, whatever he attempts is still a trade; for the higher, an art; and the highest in doing one thing does all, or, to speak less paradoxically, in the one thing which he does rightly he sees the likeness of all that is done rightly.

  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
